My Son-in-law Is A War God

Originally, Jiang Meng was already angry.

Lin Zhengtao’s actions were akin to adding fuel to the fire.

Making Jiang Meng even angrier.

Lin Zhengtao sneered, "Who am I? I’m the leading actor in these two films! I’m just asking you, President Jiang, how much should I be paid?"

Jiang Meng replied coldly, "According to the initial agreement, your total fee for the two movies is four million.

Because the movies performed well, I even gave you bonuses.

You’ve already received ten million.

Aren’t you satisfied?

It was clearly stated at the beginning that the money would be spent on special effects and plot.

You all agreed."

Lin Zhengtao sneered, "I don’t care about that. At that time, the movie wasn’t making money, so I didn’t mind.

But now, the net profit of the film is twenty-five billion, plus fifteen thousand Gemstone Currency.

My status has changed since then.

Do you plan to dismiss me with just ten million?

Dream on!"

Jiang Meng replied coldly, "I’ve already said, the ten million includes the extra bonuses I gave you. If you want to increase your fees, we’ll talk about it for the next movie.

These two movies were agreed upon from the start.

Success or loss is unrelated to you.

Now it’s profit.

But what if it was a loss?

Would you still plan to compensate the company for its losses?

People shouldn’t be shameless!"

"I don’t care, anyway, the movie earned twenty-five billion and keeps on increasing.

Yet the leads were paid only four million—this is a greedy company with no conscience!"

Lin Zhengtao started acting unreasonably.

Unable to reason, he resorted to making a scene.

Jiang Meng said indifferently, "You’re not a child anymore. Everything is according to the contract. Apart from the four million fee, I already gave you all an additional six million in bonuses.

Also, I mentioned you will get a pay rise in the next film.

But not for these two."

"Alright, Jiang Meng, you’re ruthless, but I’ll make sure this gets out, and let everyone judge who’s right or wrong.

I bet those fans won’t reason with you."

Lin Zhengtao sneered.

He has now learned to use fans as leverage to threaten the company.

Just like Lang Jun did.

Fans are irrational.

In such matters, they’ll only side with Lin Zhengtao, not the company.

Once trouble starts, not only will Chenhe’s current two films suffer losses.

The next movie might also be delayed.

"Brother Lin, don’t be like this. Calm down, everything can be discussed. How much do you want?"

Yuan Cheng was startled upon hearing this and quickly spoke up.

He even called him Brother Lin.

In his view, if things get out at this critical juncture, regardless of who’s right or wrong, the company will be affected.

The losses will definitely be significant.

"I don’t want much, let’s say five billion, plus ten thousand Gemstone Currency!"

Lin Zhengtao sneered.

He feels he has Bailong Entertainment firmly under control.

What!

Hearing Lin Zhengtao’s words, Jiang Meng wanted to slap this guy to death.

Everyone in the office gasped.

This is extortion.

Who do you think you are?

You’re not an investor.

Demanding five billion?

And ten thousand Gemstone Currency?

It’s truly excessive.

Lin Zhengtao sneered, "Too much? I don’t think so. Your movie still makes money, and the ultimate profit could reach over thirty billion.

I’m only asking for five billion, plus ten thousand Gemstone Currency.

You’ll still earn quite a bit.

Most importantly, your reputation will rise.

You’ll earn even more in the future.

Isn’t it worth it?"

Lin Zhengtao is set on squeezing Bailong Entertainment.

He finds these people easy to bully.

Yuan Cheng and others looked grim but didn’t immediately refuse.

Because if Lin Zhengtao causes a scene, the company’s losses might be even greater.

Rather than that, it might be better to spend the money to save the trouble.

"Brother Lin, five billion is too much, can you lower it a bit? You know, this revenue is also needed for the next movie.

Even for publicity.

You’re asking a bit much."

Yuan Cheng pleaded with his head lowered.

Practically begging.

"No way, five billion, ten thousand Gemstone Currency, not a penny less!"

Lin Zhengtao has already planned to sign with Xinxing Group; why would he care about offending anyone?

Once he gets the money, he’ll run.

He came today to extort.

"President Jiang, let’s agree with him. What he’s asking isn’t a lot actually."

Yuan Cheng looked at Jiang Meng.

Jiang Meng coldly glared at him.

Then looked at Lin Zhengtao and said, "Let me tell you, trying to extort company money? Dream on! Back when Meng Mei Entertainment was strong.

And what happened?

Fish Dragon Sect was powerful?

So what?

I’ve said this loophole won’t be opened.

You cause trouble as you like, I’d rather suffer losses, even bankruptcy than bow to such lowlifes.

Moreover, remember Lang Jun’s end.

In the future, you’ll be worse than him.

I despise traitors the most."

Yuan Cheng and others were stunned.

They thought Jiang Meng would at least consider, discuss it further.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Meng’s attitude was so resolute.

Even Lin Zhengtao was taken aback.

His face looked bad.

He stood up and said coldly, "Jiang Meng, you bitch, just wait. I’ll make sure you pay the price!"

"Brother Lin, don’t go!"

Yuan Cheng hurried to stop him.

But Jiang Meng stopped him, saying, "Let him go!"

"President Jiang, don’t act on impulse. If this gets bigger, the losses will be greater."

Yuan Cheng smiled bitterly.

Jiang Meng indifferently glanced at Yuan Cheng and said, "When convincing Lang Jun and Chen Lian to leave, you said the same thing.

You are good at everything, except you are too timid.

If I compromise with Lin Zhengtao today, then a second, third Lin Zhengtao will follow suit.

Yes, if he makes trouble, the company will suffer losses.

But we can afford to lose.

We rose from nothing.

We will only grow stronger."

"Alright!"

Yuan Cheng sighed.

There’s nothing he can do now but follow Jiang Meng’s lead.

"Secretary Jin, preserve the office surveillance video. Save the video of Lin Zhengtao threatening and extorting the company for future use.

Also keep the videos of Lin Zhengtao hitting and insulting staff, and acting as a prima donna.

By the way, secretly contact Lin Zhengtao’s ex-girlfriend.

That girl supported Lin Zhengtao through four years of school.

But was ruthlessly abandoned by Lin Zhengtao.

I want to see if the audience will still buy his act!"

Jiang Meng, who has been through a lot, is mature now.

He’s already prepared for such things.

"Yes!"

Secretary Jin quickly went to handle it.

The next evening was the Xinxing Group’s charity gala.

The charity gala was held in a large manor.

Made very grand.

Invited many celebrities, even media reporters.

Even Yuan Huaihen was invited.

Even Li Junyao, the general manager of Chenhe Group.

Many people with high prestige.

The charity ambassadors included the most popular Lin Zhengtao and others.
